- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 6 apples
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups white sugar
- 2 cups light corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon oil
- Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and sprinkle it with confectioners' sugar.
- Remove stems from apples and rinse them thoroughly. Spear each apple through the bottom with a rounded wooden craft stick. Dry thoroughly and set aside.
- In a large saucepan bring water, sugar and corn syrup to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high. Continue to boil, stirring so as not to burn, until mixture reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove from heat, and while stirring, add food coloring and cinnamon oil.
- Working quickly, dip each apple into the candy mixture, coating well. Place apples on prepared cookie sheet to cool. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
